Expert Verdict
The Falken ZIEX ZE960 A/S is best for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction in a grand touring all-season tire. However, its lower treadwear rating compared to the category average suggests it may not last as long as some rivals, potentially increasing ownership costs.
Pros
Comfort and noise scores of 8 make for a pleasant ride, reducing fatigue on long journeys.
Treadwear warranty of 45,000 miles offers reasonable longevity for a grand touring all-season tire.
Cons
The lower UTQG treadwear rating suggests a shorter lifespan than some competitors, which could increase long-term costs.
UTQG treadwear rating of 540 is below the category average of 683, indicating potentially shorter lifespan compared to competitors.
Speed rating of 'R' may limit performance capability compared to higher-rated competitors for spirited driving.
Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which may be a drawback for those expecting occasional light snow performance.
